I had the valve stem seals replaced.  They showed me the old seals they were dried and cracked.  The car doesn't burn oil anymore thank goodness.  But the car still put out black smoke at WOT and it's still sluggish.  The shop that put the seals in has no clue.  I am about to give up soon.  I just got a job offer and I am moving to Charlotte.  If I don't fix it by August I will leave the car in Maryland.

Does it smell like fuel?... black smoke usually means the car is running too rich. Also that the timing may be retarded too much.

If your willing to sell your car, i wouldn't mind buying it if it's at a really good price. I need a car for college and a s13 240sx has been the car i've been dying to buy for a year now. I can't spend much since my parents dont give me any money and I basically gotta save every penny i make for college.

Can you please contact me at: [email protected]

I also sent u a message

maybe you're not looking to invest too much$, but if the engine is giving you that much trouble, maybe that's the perfect excuse to throw an SR in there <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
